Design Process

Our initial meeting will entail acquiring the basic information such as client ideas and parameters. We will discuss items such as square footage, single or two story, and the location you are planning on building or remodeling. Different areas of Austin fall under the McMansion ordinance and surrounding cities may have very different design and building requirements; this is something that needs to be closely considered.

In our meeting, the client and the designer will discuss the project in detail. We may schedule a trip to the location depending on client requirements and site conditions. We will also ask the client to obtain a current site and tree survey for us to better evaluate the location of the trees and contours as it pertains to improvements.

Once the client is satisfied and all project requirements have been met, we will follow up with a proposal for all services to be rendered. The proposal will contain information such as cost, timeline for estimated completion and any additional services that may be required. The proposal is to be signed and returned to our office within 30 days. After such time a new proposal may be required due to fluctuations in costs.

Once the work begins, we will keep in close contact with the client via phone communication, e-mail or scheduled meetings. Progress reports will be sent in PDF format to keep the client abreast of plan development.
